It's the sweltering summer of 1744 and when an epidemic disease
threatens the town, coroner Titus Cragg retires with his wife and
baby son to a remote village in East Lancashire, where he hopes his
family will enjoy the healthy and tranquil air. But Cragg finds the
rural atmosphere anything but peaceful when he's called upon to
investigate the horrific death of a local woman who has fallen
victim to a cruel community punishment. Assisted by his friend Dr
Luke Fidelis, Cragg begins to probe the village's prejudices and
simmering hatreds, as he untangles cross-currents of suspicion,
rivalry and rural customs which are very different from the ways he
knows in the town. Then another local woman disappears, and events
take a disturbing new twist .
